Join us for Summer Reading Week 2 at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library! This Wednesday (7/17) we will be hosting Reptiland and their special presentation “Reptiles: The Beautiful & the Deadly” featuring a host of different creatures that we’ll get to see and learn all about.

Just like last week, registration/check-in will start at 9:30 AM and then the program will begin promptly at 10 AM. If you completed the reading log, please be sure to show it to us when signing in so that you can get a sticker for your log and the chance to enter our grand prize raffle from which several lucky winners will be drawn at the end of our time together later this summer.

Following the Reptiland program and a snack, all those that completed their reading for the week will be able to select a free book for their home library or something from the prize box. We hope to see you all Wednesday morning!

We thank dedicated library volunteer Chris Backes for all her help on Monday mornings!

This morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we read “Away in My Airplane” which was about what it’s like to ride in a real plane across the skies. Following song time, everyone got to color a “Reading Rocket” which was then folded into a paper airplane ready for takeoff!

Don’t forget that there’s a new weekly program for adults now at the library! Pinochle Club is held upstairs every Monday afternoon from 1-3 PM. Whether you’ve been playing for years or are interested in learning, feel free to join us tomorrow!

Just a reminder that this Tuesday (7/16) at 6 PM Bloomsburg Children’s Museum will be making their monthly visit to our library! This time around, we’ll be delving into forensic science and working to solve a “Death in Denver” by investigating blood splatter, DNA evidence, and skeletal remains. To sign up for this free event, either stop by the library or give us a call at 570-648-3202.

We had a very creative group of builders yesterday evening at LEGO Club. Catch us again later this month (7/25) for another Thursday evening of building together at the library!

Crocheting Club is held every Wednesday at 1 PM!

Some of our regular Mahjong folks playing upstairs and our regular crocheters working away downstairs earlier this afternoon. Both groups meet every Wednesday at 1 PM and are equally fantastic options for picking up a new skill while meeting new people!

Summer Reading Week 1 is already in the books! To kickoff the adventure this year we welcomed back instructor KymBre Shingara to lead us in Kid’s Adventure Yoga, got our reading logs and goody bags, and wrapped up the morning with a tasty cupcake treat.

Between now and next Wednesday morning’s Reptiland program, be sure to complete your reading log by reading 20 minutes a day for at least 5 days in order to receive either a free book or an item from the prize box. If you’re not quite reading on your own yet, reading with a parent/guardian or being read to also counts!

Each week you complete the log and bring it back to us, you’ll have the chance to enter your name into our grand prize drawing that will take place during our final Summer Reading session in August. We hope to see everyone next week (7/17) for Reptiland!
